UNCLE!!! I give up. The 'k' key on my laptop only works

[Jamastiene]

sometimes. I have to press it several times to make it work each time. It takes forever to type a sentence with...that letter...in it. I'm thinking it needs to be cleaned.

Every video tutorial I see says the keys should pop out really easily to clean under them. They don't...not for me anyhow.

It's a Gateway P7350 FX...if that is any help.

I either don't know what I'm doing with the can of compressed air stuff of this can is messed up. It sometimes sprays out some kind of cold liquid. I don't want to take any chances on messing up my laptop. I'll never be able to afford another one.

What can I do? Any help would be appreciated.

1. Try this >>

Get an eyedropper.
Get some denatured Alcohol.
fill eyedropper all the way with Alcohol. DO NOT use the part alcohol/ part water stuff.(it needs to dry in seconds)
Turn laptop/keyboard upside down with keyboard facing down.
squirt alcohol around and under key you want to clean.

denatured Alcohol dries almost immediately.

Try Key :)

2. I had a problem like this with a keyboard. I held it upside down and shook it hard.

That actually solved the problem. Then I bought a keyboard jimmy to keep more crap from getting under the keys
